Patent AU-4705600-A (AU)
Title: Polynucleotide matrix-based method of identifying microorganisms
Inventor: HOGAN JAMES J
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2000-05-03
Abstract: Method of identifying microbial organisms wherein a biological sample containing nucleic acids is hybridized with a collection of polynucleotide probes, each probe having binding specificity for the ribosomal nucleic acids of at least one microbe. The collection of probes isorganized into a series of "addresses" that provide information about the presence or absence of one or more polynucleotide sequences in the biological sample. Probes in the matrix are selected to distinguish between organisms that differ from each other by a known phylogenetic relationship. Advantageously, the invented method can detect and resolve the identities of microorganisms that are present in a mixed culture. The system is particularly suited to automated analysis.
Patent AU-4733385-A (AU)
Title: Article or seed counter
Inventor: FRIEND KENNETH DALE
IPC: G06M1/10
Filed: 1985-09-10
Abstract: Seeds falling down a chute pass between two spaced windows (38, 40) and two spaced mirrors (34, 36) facing each other across the width of the chute. A linear array of seven radiation emitters (CR1-CR7) direct a beam of radiation across the seed path through a slit aperture in the window (38). The beam passes through a slit aperture in the window (40) to a pair of radiation detectors (46, 48) connected in parallel and providing a signal representing the amount of radiation falling thereon. Because of the number of emitters (CR1-CR7) in the linear array, the beam of radiation is diffuse and non-collimated so that no seed can be in the shadow of another and the integrated reduction in radiation falling on the detectors (46, 48) accurately represents the number of seeds passing through.

Title: Improvements in and relating to signal handling and processing
Inventor: LIGHTFOOT JOHN ADRIAN
IPC: G01T1/20
Filed: 2000-05-04
Abstract: An event monitoring system has a plurality of detector units for detecting neutrons or other emissions from radioactive materials (i.e., events). At least one of the detector units has a detector for the events and an amplifier to amplify signals generated by the detector. A signal handler receives the amplified signals and an adder adds to the signals an indication of the detector unit from which the signals originated. A combiner combines the signals. A serial link conveys the combined signals from the signal handler to a signal processor which includes a signal receiver for the combined signals. A time stamper applies to the signal an indication of time of the generation of the signal by the detector unit, and a computer processes the signals, including the time and detector unit indications, using software to produce information on the signals or events they represent.

Title: Concert audio system
Inventor: CLAIR ROY BARRY JR
IPC: H04R5/00
Filed: 1993-07-30
Abstract: A audio enhancement system and method of use with a sound system for producing primary sound from at least one main loudspeaker located at a main position. The audio enhancement system comprises at least one wireless transmitter, time delay circuitry, and plural augmented sound producing subsystems. Each sound subsystem is a portable unit arranged to be carried by a person located remote from the main loudspeaker and includes a wireless receiver and an associated transduce device, e.g., a pair of stereo headphones. The transmitter broadcasts an electrical signal which is representative of the electrical input signal provided to the main loudspeaker. The broadcast signal is received by the receiver and is demodulated and amplified to drive the transducer so that it produces augmented sound substantially in synchronism with the sound arriving from the main loudspeaker. To achieve that end the time delay circuitry delays the electrical signal which is provided to the transducer for a predetermined period of time corresponding generally to the time period it takes for the primary sound to propagate through the air from the main loudspeaker to the remote location at which the person is located.

Title: Method of producing carbon fibrils
Inventor: TENNETT HOWARD G
IPC: B32B9/00
Filed: 1985-12-04
Abstract: This invention concerns an essentially cylindrical discrete carbon fibril characterized by a substantially constant diameter between about 3.5 and about 70 nanometers, e.g. between about 7 and 25 nanometers, length greater than about 102 times the diameter, an outer region of multiple essentially continuous layers of ordered carbon atoms and a distinct inner core region, each of the layers and core disposed substantially concentrically about the cylindrical axis of the fibril. Preferably the entire fibril is substantially free of thermal carbon overcoat. The invention further concerns a plurality of such fibrils. The fibril or plurality of fibrils of this invention may be produced by contacting for an appropriate period of time and at suitable pressure a suitable metal-containing particle with a suitable gaseous, carbon-containing compound, at a temperature between about 850 DEG  C. and 1200 DEG  C., the ratio on a dry weight basis of carbon-containing compound to metal containing particle being at least about 100:1. The fibrils are useful in composites having a matrix of e.g., an organic polymer, an inorganic polymer or a metal. In one embodiment the fibrils are incorporated into structural materials in a method of reinforcement. In other embodiments the fibrils may be used to enhance the electrical or thermal conductivity of a material, to increase the surface area of an electrode or capacitor plate, to provide a support for a catalyst, or to shield an object from electromagnetic radiation.

Title: Communication systems conveying voice and data signals over standard telephone lines
Inventor: VITENBERG ROMAN
IPC: H04L5/02
Filed: 2001-04-23
Abstract: A method for conveying over telephone lines digitized voice signals simultaneously with digital data signals by means of a communication system, having a transmitter having a discrete multi-tone unit yielding a plurality of carriers of different frequency, several of which are assigned to the voice signals and others to the data signals. The carriers for transmitting voice are selected on the basis of their signal-to-noise ratio characteristics, which carriers can be reallocated dynamically to data transmission. A first tone ordering circuit assigns data streams to data carriers, and a second tone ordering circuit assigns voice streams to voice carriers. Each carrier is modulated by QAM modulation, the data carriers by a sequence of QAM symbols representing data and the voice carriers by a sequence of QAM symbols representing voice. QAM modulation is carried out by a first constellation encoder that modulates the data carriers and a second constellation encoder that modulates the voice carriers.

Title: Zirconium dioxide powder, processes for its preparation and its use for the production of sintered articles
IPC: C01G25/02
Filed: 1990-06-01
Abstract: 2.1 Substantial disadvantages of previously practised processes for the preparation of zirconium dioxide powder are the use of aqueous solutions and the separating-off of precipitates. In addition, the process products often do not show the desired flow, compacting and sintering properties, due to the lack of microcrystallinity. 
<??>2.2 A stabilised or unstabilised zirconium dioxide powder having good properties can be prepared without using the disadvantageous process measures by melting zirconyl chloride, if desired, together with a stabiliser, or the precursor of a stabiliser, in the presence of a diol of the general formula HO - X - OH, in which X represents a saturated hydrocarbon radical having 2 to 5 carbon atoms, evaporation of water and hydrogen chloride, calcining of the reaction product at elevated temperature in an oxygen-containing gas and, if desired, milling of the calcined residue. 
<??>2.3 The stabilised or unstabilised zirconium dioxide powder is suitable for the production of sintered articles which can be exposed to high mechanical and/or thermal stress.
